We are Honey and Diana, two Malaysian gals who really love diving into books of all kinds. Welcome to 2 Book Nerds Talking where we discuss books we love or those hot on the read list. We get to share reading insights, bookish topics, pick the minds of occasional bookworm guests and other general book nerdery. If you love books as much as we do, this is the podcast for you!

We are finally back with LIVE events! Rejoice fellow introverts who occasionally would like to see some like-minded people. We interviewed Hanna Alkaf at Lit Books (our favourite lil bookish spot) on her book Queen of the Tiles. We put up a scrabble game and was horrified to find out some of her fans DO NOT KNOW how to play Scrabble! ZOMG but we digress, it was a lovely event and we got to nerd out on words, talk about normalising mental health and her latest heroine, Najwa who it in Hanna's word, 'smarter than me by far.' We also got a sneak peak of her next middle grade book, Hamra and the Jungle of Memories and got to sign her scrabble notebook. *coughs* 'nerds'

Greetings booknerds! We're back with another 30 Dirty episode to give you some book recommendations for our July #tbntbookchallenge2022. July's prompt is to read a book from a country you want to visit OR by an indigenous author. We've come up with a list of books where the setting is of places we would love to visit and there are some trip-py reads. Cheers!Books Mentioned (in order):A Castle in the Clouds by Kerstin Gier (Swiss Alps)The Green-eyed Lama by Oyungerel Tsedevdamba and Jeffrey Lester Falt (Mongolia)Kamusari Tales Told at Night by Shion Miura (rural Japan)The Comet Seekers by Helen Sedgwick (Antarctica)Half-Blown Rose by Leesa Cross-Smith (Paris)The Story of My Teeth by Valeria Luiselli (Mexico)This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub (past)The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by Amitav Ghosh (Banda Islands)Red Blossom in Snow: A Lotus Palace Mystery by Jeannie Lin (Tang Dynasty in China)Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier (Romania)

Ian McEwan recommends it, calling it a compelling setting. Diana says it's one of the darkest books she has read in a long time comparing it to Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. Honey picked it up and did not put it down until she was finished with it. This book (originally in Dutch) was so deceptively simple to read that you don't realise it punching you in the gut until you're halfway through and thoroughly invested. Join us as we discuss a book that goes into how it's like working as a social media content moderator and what coming face-to-face daily with the scum of humanity does to you. Proceed with caution.

We're back with Part 2 of our book recommendations for June's #tbntbookchallenge2022! We have more retellings and books on historical figures PLUS 2 extra books that are to be released later this year for your consideration. We hope you'll enjoy this episode. Cheers!

Hello! We're back with another of our 30 Dirty episodes and we're talking retellings and books about historical figures for our June #tbntbookchallenge2022. As usual, we got carried away talking about books so we've decided to make this episode a two-parter. Don't say we're not a podcast that keeps giving. Cheers!

We're back! We have been away for some time but it's all to recharge and regroup our wits for a whole new season of TBNT! We're kicking off Season 6 with one of our favourite episodes to make, a TBR episode. We're covering some books that are to be released in June till September 2022 that have piqued our interest and we hope it does you too. Fair warning, there's A LOT of books. Stay tuned for more updates from us because things are opening up again and we have so many plans lined up. Cheers!

Hello booknerds! This is a special episode in collaboration with the launch of BookXcess's new website!We were invited to have a talk at The Powder Room with some lovely friends and we had a blast talking about all things bookish and being a booknerd. Sit in with us for this laidback session. Cheers!

Hello booknerds! We're on a short break but we thought of coming back on air to give you some recommendations for our TBNT May Challenge; the main character is an antihero or a book with an unreliable narrator. We thought of combining the two and came up with a list of interesting unreliable femme fatale reads for your consideration. Read well!

We've finally reached the end of a very.. interesting season. We thought of highlighting some middle grade reads and if you've never thought of picking up a middle grade book, you're kinda missing out!Honey comes in clutch with some interesting horror reads (don't worry, nothing too traumatizing), while Diana strikes a more hopeful and wholesome tune with her reads. Enjoy!

For April's challenge we urge you to pick up a read that has an element of nature in the title OR explores a world beyond earth. Honey picked a whole bunch of cool graphic novels, all sci-fi of course, while Diana has a mix bag from YA fantasy to murder mystery, essays to romance, this is a really fun #tbntbookchallenge2022Books mentioned (in order): The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh Invisible Kingdom by G. Willow Wilson and Christian Ward These Precious Days by Ann PatchettDescender Vol. 1: Tin Stars by Jeff Lemire and Dustin NguyenPeach Blossom Spring by Melissa FuBitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De LandroThe Absolute Book by Elizabeth KnoxThe Black Incal by Alexandro Jodorowsky and MoebiusWinter's Orbit by Everina MaxwellSentient by Jeff Limire, Gabriel Walta, and Steve Wands Dead Silence by S.A.
